Cavaliers Fans Set Guinness World Record for Snuggies

Filed under: Cavaliers, NBA Fans

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Cleveland has its original world record covered.



Fans attending Friday's game between the Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons set a world record for the largest gathering of people wearing fleece blankets.



All fans in attendance had a Snuggie placed on their seats prior to the game. During a timeout in the first quarter, fans were asked to wear the wine-colored blankets with arms for five minutes as a clock on the scoreboard counted down. Most everyone complied -- except for one fan wearing a Celtics jersey and another who thought ahead and brought a Pistons Snuggie. The rest of the sellout crowd of more than 20,000 turned the Q into a sea of red blankets, counting down the final seconds and cheering as the world record clock expired.
